Always looking for a great pair of jeans, and I like to break them in myself, so I usually go the"raw" route.
There are SO many brands out there claiming to offer selvedge denim, and I figured you gents would know some more esoteric/authentic brands. Oh, and I'm not willing to drop more...
So, I'm leaning towards a Half Belt at the moment and need to begin filling in the details.
I'm going brown FQHH and was thinking antique brass. Fits the style of the jacket and is low-key. But it occurred to me that "normal" brass would patina over time and end up looking "antique" at...
First up: Cafe Racer
Front and sleeves are perfect. Not too much room for any layers, though. Hmmmm
Back, to me, is a train wreck:
It's like a balloon above the kidney belt. Not psyched about that, but maybe attributable to the shoulder gussets, which I would not get anyway...
Ok, so the Sonoma and the Half Belt arrived today! Both in black, but I'm going brown in whichever style I choose.
Anyway, since I'm in the office I haven't had much time to spend admiring, but out of the box: damn, they're heavy, damn, they're stiff, and damn, they smell good.
Wade...
Still waiting on my "fit jackets": one Sonoma; one 30's HB. Tomorrow is the day!!
In the meantime, I am obsessively pouring over pics and threads. Came across the sunburst half belt. While the design is too over the top for me, I really like the buckle and strap set up on the cuffs...
Another member told me about the Sheene jacket, basically a cafe racer with a collar. Hmmm.
So what's the diff between it and the Half Belt?
If anyone has this (these) jackets, I'd really appreciate your thoughts, and pics even moreso.
Thanks you all for in advance for your time...
Someone on here snagged the exact jacket that I'm currently interested in: Aero cafe racer in brown FQHH, but he mentioned a "dirt rider" collar. His DID look a bit "higher" than the standard, but I may be seeing things.
Once again, your help is appreciated.
So, I'm waiting on my "fit jacket" (Sonoma Cafe Racer) and I keep doing research. I come across shots of the Aero Half-Belt and now I don't know which way to go!! Oh, and I'm all about brown leather.
To begin, I don't ride, so this a pure fashion jacket.
Which style is more versatile...
